Depending on the injury and what is the cause, a kidney might not be able to function correctly, or to function at all. There are two kidneys in a normal body, and the surviving kidney is capable in functioning alone.
Depends entirely on how big/bad the injury is. Can be anything from the kidney having to be removed to sometemporary bruising/bleeding that heals of it own.
